    And here is the BBC: Uighurs - BBC News

    NYT: Uighurs - The New York Times
    Well done for finding 9 articles over 3 months on this very grave subject. Now compare with the full spectrum coverage of President trump being rude to someone in a press conference. Meanwhile WHO acts as a repeater station for radio Beijing, while obediently blocking Taiwan from membership. Their assistant director general actually hanging up the phone live on air rather than acknowledge Taiwan's independent existence. FFS.

      Some of the best, although plenty of others with detailed maps displaying the expansion of monitoring to hundreds of millions of cities and towns (metropolises and cities in our language) of XinJiang.

      Some articles are free to read, as you can see below:

      You can paste these into google and view the article and the comments, but it's really worth paying a subscription for, plus £1 for a four week trial is a bargain. The quality of articles is worth paying for. The comments section is generally above any other newspaper in the world too.


      It seems that allowing Chinese entities to mega dump all university and microsoft collaborative facial recognition research data sources wasn't such a good idea after all, as the CCP are mentally deranged - I mean, you'd have to be to implement such features on your citizens:

        That's the spirit! Ignore the proof that you are wrong and plough on regardless.

        I bet you think that the Western media has ignored the WHO's treatment of the Republic of China.

          Is it even possible to not buy Chinese goods anymore, from phones to pharmaceuticals China has a hand in it.

          If anyone is on the bench put together a website of alternative goods.

            Difficult I agree - especially when you get down to sub components - but I will do my best to not to buy made in China.

            Some useful labelling “Not Made in China” will be helpful.

              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                The Don makes a faux pas and within 48 hours Auntie has given it 8 times as much coverage as Chinese people in gulags ? The Guardian twice as much ? That's with my filter bubble of course. Try it with yours...

                  Interestingly the US with a population of 300 million has 2 million in gulags whereas China has a population 3 times the size with almost half that number in gulags.

                  Statistically you are far less likely to end up in a gulag in China than you are in the US.

                  Humanitarian Scott Warren, for example, was just found not guilty in his second trial on felony harboring charges for the crime of feeding two migrants and offering them beds after an arduous, death-defying journey through the desert

                    As soon as you compare the Chinese legal system favourably to the US, you've lost the argument. The US system is a very long way from being perfect, but the Chinese system is a whole lot worse. Don't be a ****ing moron.
                    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
